Mounting Mounting This CPE 4,500 lb winch is designed with a bolt pattern that is standard in this class of winch.

Operation Operation General Tips for Safe Operation Your 14501 winch is rated at 4,500 lbs. capacity in first layer (max) when spooling the first rope layer on the drum. Overloads can damage the winch, motor and/or wire rope. For loads over 2,000 lbs. we recommend the use of the pulley block/snatch block to double the wire rope line. The will aid in two ways: a) reduce the number or rope layers on the drum, as well as, b) reduce the load on the wire rope by as much as 50%.
Operation Winching Techniques A-Z a. Take time to assess your situation and plan your pull. b. Put on gloves to protect your hands. c. Disengage the clutch to allow freespooling and also save battery power. d. Attach the hook strap to the clevis hook. e. Pull out the wire rope to your desired anchor point using the hook strap. f. Secure the clevis hook to the anchor point: Sling, chain or snatch block. Do not attach the hook back onto the wire rope. g. Engage the clutch. h.

WARNING Lubrication All moving parts within the Electric Winch having been Lubricated using high temperature lithium grease at the factory. No internal lubrication is required. Lubricate Cable Assembly periodically using a light penetrating oil. Never operate a damaged or defective winch. Cable Assembly Replacement WARNING Improper maintenance will void your warranty.
